The invention relates to a method of detecting neutrophil extracellular traps in a sample of a biofluid, wherein the sample of the biofluid is supplied with a nucleic acid-selective dye, wherein, after the staining, a multitude of optical, particle-related measurements is determined in the sample within the absorption range of the dye, in each case as a tuple of a measurement of a first optical feature and a second optical feature, wherein measurements of the first optical feature are selected within a sub-range of all measured values of the first optical feature and those of the second optical feature within a sub-range of all measured values of the second optical feature, and wherein the number of selected measurements for detection of the neutrophil extracellular traps is compared to a predetermined borderline value.
A method for detecting neutrophil extracellular traps in a sample of a biofluid, wherein a dye selective for nucleic acid is supplied to the sample of the biofluid, wherein a multiplicity of optical, particle-related measurement values is determined in the sample after staining within the absorption range of the dye, in each case as a tuple composed of a measurement value of a first optical feature and of a second optical feature, wherein measurement values of the first optical feature within a first subregion of all measured values of the first optical feature and of the second optical feature within a second subregion of all measured values of the second optical feature are selected, and wherein the number of selected measurement values is compared with a predetermined limit value in order to detect the neutrophil extracellular traps.
